The Grant Boys Store

The Grant Boys store is a long time legacy of Costa Mesa.

This shop is just down the street from The Pretty Kitty on Newport Blvd. This Orange County store offers a wide variety of hunting, camping, fishing, and even specialty firearms gear.

Personally, I have found much of the fishing gear to be useful and affordable. I’ve purchased many fishing lures and bait at The Grant Boys.

The Grant BoysThey have great warm weather clothing as well. Years ago, I bought a black Dickies jacket at a reasonable price that I still wear. In fact, I just pulled it out of the clothes dryer. In the past I have also purchased a great pair of long johns that are still in great condition and are very effective in cold weather.

The Grant Boys store also has a wide array of new and used firearms for sale. I have not purchased a gun here but every time I have visited the shop, I find myself at the gun area, looking through the glass display cases at the different handguns. They offer shotguns and rifles as well.

The Grant Boys offers live bait each day.

The worms, night crawlers, and grubs are always fresh. Last year, my daughter was brave enough to get her own container when I took her fresh water fishing. Though she didn’t use them all, she was excited to have her own container and did not have to share with with the old man.

In all of the years I have shopped at The Grant Boys, the staff has been consistently knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. This Orange County store was established in 1949 and is on its fourth generation of ownership!

The Pretty Kitty Waxing

A new store to Costa Mesa, The Pretty Kitty Waxing, is a full service body waxing boutique.

This appears to be their second shop. It seems that the market for this service is in high demand. The Pretty Kitty Waxing offers an intimate, clean environment in which to receive the waxing services. Individual, private rooms set the environment for a client to get up to 18 different waxing services. The most common is the very popular Brazilian wax. I will not go into details except to say that the Brazilian removes all of the hair from the client’s private area.

Just down the street from The Goat Hill Tavern, this shop was recently renovated and looks great.

The Pretty Kitty Waxing

Upon my first visit to The Pretty Kitty Waxing, I was surprised to learn that their services were also available to men.

Many other options are available such as legs, arms, face, chest, and back (the last two offered to men.)

One of the staffers said something humorous to me: Most of the “sensitive” women tend to visit The Pretty Kitty Waxing store later in the evening. It seems that some women shout during the waxing of their sensitive areas. Imagine that!

In my visit to the store, I was surprised at the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The Pretty Kitty also offers helpful information on what to expect before and after their services as well as other “frequently asked questions.”

British Food

Having satisfied our craving for British food at the Union Jack Fish & Chips II in Costa Mesa, we decided that we wanted to stock up on other British delights. After a brief Google search, we discovered a hidden little market in Laguna Niguel aptly named British Food that offers British and South African groceries and more. This cleverly named store offers the best variety of British and South African groceries, frozen foods, cooking ingredients, and gifts I have yet to find in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Did I mention the two full aisles of sweets, chocolates, and candies?

Ginger BeerWe found a variety of frozen pastries as well in the freezer section and bought a package of meat pies that were delicious. We also bought some ginger beer and a few little gift trinkets for a friend. I finished the ginger beer on the way home.

Oh yes, I almost forgot that we met a very polite and helpful British couple while shopping here. The gentleman noticed my choice of ginger beer and suggested I try it with a half glass of normal beer. Apparently, this is a tradition back in the U.K. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to try it because I polished off the bottle on the way home!
